ones by their wealth and their numbers. The generative importance of
war lies in this, that it causes selection, and thus war becomes a biological
necessity." 71
As we have seen from our account so far, Hitler and the Nazi ideo-
logues who supported him saw war as a necessity with the inspiration
they drew from Darwinism. And by implementing this necessity they vis-
ited various miseries on their own people, and on the other peoples of the
world. From this point of view it will therefore be absolutely correct to
identify Charles Darwin as one of those primarily responsible for the suf-
ferings experienced in World War II.
Professor Dr. Jerry Bergman demonstrates the effect of Darwinism
on the Second World War:
The evidence is very clear that Darwinian ideas had a tremendous impact
on German thought and practice… In fact, Darwinian ideas had a tremen-
dous influence on causing WWII, the loss of 40 million lives, and the waste
of about 6 trillion dollars. Firmly convinced that evolution was true, Hitler
saw himself as the modern savior of humankind… By breeding a superior
race, the world would look upon him as the man who pulled humanity up
to a higher level of evolution. 72
Of course there had been countless wars in the world before Darwin
put his theory forward. But due to the effects of his theory, war was for the
first time given a false approval by science. Max Nordau drew attention to
Darwin's negative role in the subject of wars in an article called The Philos-
ophy and Morals of War, which made waves in America:
The greatest authority of all the advocates of war is Darwin. Since the the-
ory of evolution has been promulgated, they can cover their natural bar-
barism with the name of Darwin and proclaim the sanguinary instincts of
their inmost hearts as the last word of science. 73
th
It was no coincidence that the 20 century should see the bloodiest
th
wars the world has known, coming as it did after the 19 century, which
was formed by the ideas of such materialist ideologues as Darwin, Marx,
and Freud. Darwinism had prepared the theoretical and so-called scientif-
ic ground which would end in war, and the despots who saw war as
indispensable for the growth of humanity killed a total of 60 million peo-
ple in both world wars.
